I was linked to this video a little while back in a different context and without foreknowledge that it was certified crackpottery. I was led to believe it was merely wild speculation fringe stuff, which I'm kinda into.

Anyway, it was ringing crackpot alarms almost immediately. I didn't even have to scrutinize the claims (they don't hold up even a little, natch), the way the claims were presented was sufficient. I wonder what it is that makes some people deaf to the heuristics most of us are able to employ against this kind of nonsense.
